XFX Radeon HD 6970 HD-697A-CNFC Video Card with Eyefinity

Comment:
Place this into my new computer and hell! This factor is massive! Hauls so substantially, I don't assume I've managed to get the fan on it up to complete RPMs and I've been operating stuff like Fallout NV at complete sliders! XFX backs all of their solutions and this is no diverse. If you have the funds this is THE card to have. NONE

I have all three cards clocked to the Catalyst Overdrive highest and Powertune რ. With custom fan profile and the Azza 1000 complete case (+ further 120MM fan complimenting the cards intake) I was capable to run MSI Kombustor for 42 minutes - peaking at 82 degrees, averaging 79-80 Celsius with no artifacting, snow, or crashes. The CrossfireX tandem maintained 99% GPU usage for the duration, and I voluntarily exit the stability. Separately running as a benchmark with no AA, my infant rendered 1307 FPS average. Heaven 2.1 at standard tessellation settings and default otherwise Ɣx AF, 0xAA, 1920x1080, Higher shaders) impressively pushed 138.5 FPS & a mind-blowing 315 FPS greatest. Off the major of my head I can't keep in mind exactly, but with the very same settings differentiated by extreme tessellation I eclipsed one hundred frames/second. 3dMark Vantage set a new individual ideal with a GPU score of P44960.

Card looks excellent effectively created i personaly like xfx out of them all card is fast i have three in crossfire and they fly and yes the gtx 580 is faster not by significantly and for the price tag way to go amd have them running overclocked to 950 coremhz 1475 memory mhzmy technique980x 4.5ghz oc12 gb ddr3 corsair dominator gt eight-8-824ocz 120gb ssdasus rampage three intensecoolermaster haf x case that dum a// crying more than 10$ appear at asus the over clock it 10mhz so its ok they charge 10$ additional so you pay 1$ mhz over clock when you can do that your self realy shut the h*** up and get a life great card would recomend it to any one

Comment:
Rapidly, runs fairly cool when contemplating the fps it pushes at greater res, also pretty really, not silent but not loud at all, appear cool if you have a rig witha window... Not fairly as significantly of an increase in actual world overall performance as I would have hoped. I don't know what Subterfug09 is speaking about, this card is fairly darn really, Subterfug09 is actually pushing it with his comments in regards to how loud this card genuinely is, unless you have your head in your rig or an open air rig then there is no way any individual would call this GPU LOUD, get a grip Subterfug09

Uncomplicated Install, Make positive you have a PSU with 6pin and 8 pin connector. Hooked this up to my asus croshair iv board and it just rocks. No concerns with install. Quite Quiet compaired to the 5k series models. this is comparible to the 5870 and runs more rapidly and quieter. None

This is a good card for anybody operating 1920x1080 resolution or above. You'll possibly want much more than 1GB in the next two years. The MLAA and other settings of the new CCC seriously impressed me. The overall performance was an clear leap from my old 4890 1GB.XFX provides a good double lifetime warranty. You Ought to register the card inside 30 days to get this. Don't let it slip your mind. The representatives had been incredibly good to let me get the warranty when I registered my card on the 45th day, but they could not do that for everyone.Maxed out BF:BC2, Stalker: COP, Crysis Warhead, and GTA IV at 1920x1200 with all the added AA settings in CCC on.I overclocked the card to 950񳇌 on stock voltage. This is impressive in my opinion. Although my FPS didn't adjust substantially from this overclock. It doesn't come with an eight-pin adapter. I got the card on Christmas, and I couldn't use it till the subsequent day when Pc outlets opened. It was kinda annoying to devote nearly 踰 and acquire so handful of of accessories.Some games (GTA IV and L4D2) appear to disagree with forced AA via CCC. I'm not confident if this is the cards, drivers, or games fault.This card is in fact bottlenecked by my i7 860 ʃ.2Ghz in some applications and games. I didn't anticipate this to be an situation. I'm not sure if this is a pro or con. I guess it signifies the card is operating well. Some people have located approaches to turn a 6950 into a 6970. It sounds easy, but I confident as heck wouldn't attempt it. I consider the premium that the 6970 fees is worth being safe and keeping the warranty valid.

This will be my initially ati card. Cant believe of any but. I looked at the critiques on this card in comparison of the other cards. It did not benchmark as high as the gtx 580 but the one particular thing I did see that appears to really matter.Pixel and texture fill rates it definitely blew every thing out of the water. Go and look for your self. To all the other people out there saying they're confused on naming schemes. My question is how ??? If it's the greater number does that not mean it's the greater model. Anyways I will be pleased to post about my new build as soon as it's all put together.

This card is phenomenal. Does every little thing it's supposed to do. I've upgraded from an Nvidia GT220 and it's like a 400% performance increase. I applied to get barely 25 FPS on Star Craft 2 on MEDIUM settings and considering that upgrading to this card, I'm operating almost everything on EXTREME and receiving a solid 65 FPS. Even though SC two is an CPU-Intensive game. I'm operating a AMD Phenom x4 9650 D: Graphics on COD: Black Ops went from MEDIUM Settings ࿍ FPS) to MAXED OUT 鲳+ FPS). I could not be any happier. Also, my situation is a mid ATX tower. I BARELY got it in there. I had 2 sata ports blocked the way but that's fault on my portion due to the fact I didn't check before purchasing. I managed to squeeze the GPU in there by moving my HDD and bending the SATA ports just a little bit.. =S All in all, I am super happy. None. I was reading some reviews about bad drivers and whatnot.. definitely not true. I did a clean sweep of my preceding Nvidia drivers and then went on to the website to download the newest AMD drivers.. every little thing worked the initially time. When others stated fan was genuinely loud, they MEANT it. I tested the fan with MSI Afterburner on one hundred% and my father in the subsequent space thought I was vacuuming. LULZ. At 25% (which is where it's at most of the time), it is not bothersome at all. I've yet to place this GPU on load. :D

Nicely believe I am a single of the 1st . I ordered it at about 7PM on the 14 of December. Sold each my Toxic 5850's about 2 months ago for โ much less each than I had paid for them, in preparation for this day. Nada,zip,nothing.(as of but) I should of paid the expidited shipping fee. Need to have it by Friday, the 17th. Excited as heck,will get a second a single right after i get the really feel of the XFX 6970. Must scale wonderfully in XFire if the 6870 is any indication.

This is a excellent card. The 5970 may possibly be a small quicker but this baby is a much better card for you money. Installed the most recent driver and used the CCC Overdrive to do my overclocking. It went to 950 Mhz proc speed, 1450 Mhz memory speed, and რ% power. It did all perfectly without having a hicup. It does run hot quick overclocked so make positive you have excellent cooling. Doesn't incorporate a Display Port adapter for Eyefinity. You require to obtain one your self. Firms creating high finish cards like these should assume people today want to do the Eyefinity. Quite great card and you will not be disappointed if you get it. The double lifetime warranty alone is a great deal. I program on finding two much more to do triple crossfire.

Comment:
Extremely quick and plays Black Ops maxed out setting flawlessly. I could surely tell a night and day distinction amongst my old graphic card and this on. The cost is extremely inexpensive contemplating 5970's are still 500+ Not a issue. This is my initial graphics card where you hook a external energy cable to it and the directions had been quite negative. Make confident you hook a 8 pin to it and a 6pin otherwise it won't be powered enough and the beep when you begin the computer will scare you. And men and women complaining about not getting a eight pin connector integrated, you should have a very good psu that has those rather of getting a connector.

Comment:
This card is able to chew up Metro 2033. Graphics setting on really high settings, anti aliasing at fundamental, texture filtering at AF 4X, on a 23.6 inch monitor operating at 1080P. with no slow down. Specifically at the tower initially level exactly where the horde is running. Runs a bit hot but if I can modify the fan speed settings then possibly I can bring down the temps, but even then nothing wrong here.

This is for all individuals who are complaining about installing an ATI driver update. Do your investigation 1st with these ATI drivers. ATI drivers are not undesirable, they do have a dilemma with their install although. 1) You need to have to eliminate the old ATI driver, the reboot2) Choose up newest version of driver sweeper from http://phyxion.net/item/driver-sweeper.htmlthree) Install drive sweeper and take away any and all old ATI display drivers and rebootfour) Now install your new ATI driver and you won't reboot to a blue screen. I will admit that ATI needs to repair t his predicament as they are bricking men and women's installations. Negative ATI bad, undesirable. When you come across out how to do it, it's really not that huge a deal.

Great card! no difficulties at all so far!

- There is no adapter for an eight pin connector. I had to acquire one particular. I got this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814999022 I submitted a ticket with tech help with xfx, but they haven't responded however. Manufacturer Response:We do not ship with any power adapters for this item mainly because the energy specifications of the card should be met with a power provide that was designed and constructed with that amount of energy in mind. Cards that call for eight pin connections need to not be utilized with adapters.

The most recent and greast. Mentioned owned for a week but has been in transit all that time. Cant review overall performance simply because i wont be able to get package. Nicely when i ordered i employed the Rush processing but for some purpose it still took more than 2 days to ship out. Wont be here subsequent week to get it so i guess it will get returned to newegg. Way points go i guess. Was truly searching foward to this card upgrading from xfire 4870 a single gig cards but will be out of town next week. Ordered tuesday and took till thursday to ship with rush processing someone dropped the ball there. May well reorder when i get back but with wifes surgery out of town and it will take her a month to recover fused neck you know i am just disappointed with it all.

AMD's 2nd gen DX11 card. Fantastic performance/price ratio. Double lifetime warranty. I was hoping, like a lot of people today, that AMD would finally knock Nvidia off its high horse with the 6970, but alas... Nonetheless, this card is Nothing to sneeze at. Upgraded from a 5870 to this and really like every minute of it. My Unigine Heaven bench jumped from 36.eight to 58.two fps. Noticed a considerable increase in Metro 2033, as properly as Just Cause 2. Crysis now gets above 40 frames on One card! Almost everything else, just runs flawlessly. Yes there are quicker solutions out there, but quite honestly, this card is additional than adequate to manage any and all games at present out. Seeking forward to choosing up a second card for some xfire action.

I have purchased XFX cards for a handful of years now with no difficulties and applied to be a difficulty defunct firm, until this month. This was a complete new construct 1st off. The first card was DOA (gave me a black screen by merely installing it) so of course I was not content and sent it back. Confirmed that card was DOA by installing an old card.The second card came in (after a week) and whola I haz a screen so now I am excited this is going to operate ! Set up only the mandatory windows updates initial, reboot. Windows is still there so I am searching great. Install the XFX driver disk and install driver. Set up fails with 'failed driver'. Ok getting worried as making a comp is even simpler than the old days, plug/play/disk/reboot. So I head on to the web site and install their driver and it doesn't take. I do this with a uninstall/reinstall I can not don\'t forget how several occasions. Fill out a ticket with tech help. They inform me to set up the driver...well guess what scroll up... I get black screen over and over, with out display driver installed the screen blinks just about every five-10 seconds. Continue.....down I also notice that beneath device manager that the card shows as a generic vga till driver is loaded then it shows up as a XFX 6970 and so forth. I am sending this card back as nicely for a RMA and going with anything else than XFX soon after all these years. Did they do a company make more than or one thing recently?Whoo hoo three weeks down the drain, perhaps my comp will be up and running subsequent week :Psystem:Sandy four.6ocROG Maximus IVNZXT 1KW16g G.Ability DomninatorAsus DVD BurnerWin7 Manufacturer Response:Please email me your support ticket ID at neweggsupport@xfxforce.com so that I can assessment your case. The initially point that comes to mind with a new develop like this and seeing those kinds of driver crashes is memory instability. A lot of the DDR3 that folks are getting runs at greater than 1.5V but all DDR3 motherboards will boot at 1.5V so the memory has to have its settings put in manually. I hope to hear from you. Thank you.External Link(s): XFX Assistance|

Windows rating doesn't seriously matter, I started with one and at some point added Crossfire to a second one. Benchmark doubled my original card which was HD5830 Runs hot, but to be expected.. Also These cards require alot of wattage, so make positive you got what it takes to run the, Tips, in the CCC software manually turn the fans up about 50%. will remain at a constant 60-70 C.

This card runs AVP maxxed out in D11 at 1680 x 1050 better then my 2x 5870s in crossfire did. I was seriously shocked and believed it was the drivers but I tested them one particular a lot more time just to make confident and this beast of a card plays a lot better. Says a lot about the refinements AMD/ATI created. And this plays Rift WAAAAAAAAAAAAY better then my 5870s. Can't wait to see what these bad boys can do in crossfire. Also XFX IMO set the standard for video card boxes. The box was about the size of a medium sized lady shoe box or maybe even smaller. Wish it come with some attachments. All you get is a door hanger, a crossfire connector, a driver disc, and some pamplets. But other then that nothing substantially I can say that's seriously a major con.

Comment:
This card is an absolute BEAST! I have thrown all my games at this factor and it chews em appropriate up! Every thing maxxed, 1080p. I have now fallen in luv ɛ Huge (remember to measure space ahead of purchase) Want one more to crossfire ;)

Comment:
Opened the box to uncover a masterful looking monstrosity that is the 6970. Registered for the double lifetime ahead of installing. Went in my HAF with ease. Let me tell you this video card has been the back bone of my gaming setup , not matter what i throw at it, it keeps on going. No driver troubles for me Enormous , make sure you can fit this in your case and have the power to run it. This is my initial AMD setup and im very impressed with the high quality and speed of this GPU, and for the value its nicely within the reach of what gamers need IMO. XFX , Ive often been a valued customer and it s a no brainer with the double lifetime warranty.

Excellent card. Nothing bad to say about it. Runs one hundred% stable @ 950񳆚 (CCC MAX) and was able to bench 3dmark11 @ 1000񳆚 no voltage boost. Quite fantastic image high quality (better than my 5850) as effectively. Exceptional upgrade for something less than a 5850, moderate for 58xx cards. Nothing yet!
